Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi People,
Please allow me to introduce myself: My name is Georgie, or as my BFK aunties call me, Gorgeous Georgie. I’m eleven and a half pounds of sweetness and cuteness in a small black, brown and white package. Well, I’m not really a package, I’m actually a handsome and friendly Havanese boy of five. My foster Mom calls me a precious lovebug and says I’m affectionate and snuggly — a really good boy who loves people, walks and treats.
Mom said to tell you that I am a great companion and a champion cuddler who loves to snuggle up very close, as soon as you sit down. And while I’m a quiet and respectful gentleman in the house, when it’s time to go out, I am ready to go! I should tell you that my most favorite thing to do is to go for walks. I absolutely love my walks. I’m happy to go on long walks (of more than a mile!) or lots of short walks, as long as I can get outside, explore the neighborhood and enjoy the day with my people. Want to go in the car? Yipee, I’m ready! I am happy to be your companion to go around town, the mall or the beach. I sit nicely and enjoy the ride while you go about your daily errands, too.
And here is where the treat part comes in….I love treats. Mom says I should have a sign that says “will work for treats”. I have already learned to dance on my hind legs and I’m learning other commands too, like sit and wait (those are a little harder) but I’m willing to try even more. Mom thinks that I like treats so much because I may never have had many before. You see, before I became a furkid, I lived with a family who didn’t have much time for me. I lived outside in the yard and came in at night to the garage. I wasn’t even invited into the house with my family. I could see them through the window laughing, and playing and watching TV- but I couldn’t be a part of that and it made me very sad. Sometimes they would come out, and play with me, but then always left me alone. Then one day, they took me for a walk to the car and I was really excited because I thought we were going to go on an adventure, but that’s not where we went at all. They took me to this cold and noisy place called a shelter, dropped me off and drove away.
I was really scared and no one knew how to make me feel better, That was until my Auntie from BFK came by my kennel. She could see that a guy like me deserved a chance at a better life – and I could see that she would give me one, so I climbed in her lap and gave her a big kiss. That sealed the deal! Before I knew it I was out of the shelter and in a great foster home. I didn’t even have to live outside, I came right in the door and climbed up on the couch between two wonderful human brothers and began my new life.
Being in the house is so much fun. I am trying to be the best little guy I can and make Mom and Dad really proud. I’m working hard on my housebreaking because being the good boy I am, I want to please! Dad says I’m crate trained — and will happily go in to take a nap or sleep through the night. When Mom and Dad are busy, I am content to play tug-of-war with a toy or throw it up in the air and play happily by myself.
Like many furkids, I would love to be in a home with a family who will spend lots of time with me and let me love them to pieces. Well, maybe not pieces, but you get the idea. I can either be with other furkids or can be the only pup in the house, as long as I have ‘my people.’
Do I sound like the guy you’ve been looking for? If I do, please fill out an application and ask for Georgie. I can’t wait to meet you!
Love and Snuggles,
Gracious, Genial and Gentlemanly Georgie
